@Calestous @theeconomist I actually don't agree that contributing mtDNA makes a person a parent; so it really depends on our definition.

@azzubairm@TheEconomist l tend to agree. This definition opens door for multitude of parents given potential of technology. -
@Calestous@theeconomist Interestingly, someone asked me in Cambridge, what would be the cut-off point in making a parent, 9 genes, or more? -
@azzubairm@TheEconomist We will need a new "genetic parent" standard. -
@Calestous@theeconomist You are right; this will come when the mtDNA donor sues the nuclear genetic donor parents for "parental rights". -
@azzubairm@TheEconomist That crossed my mind too :-) -
@Calestous@theeconomist I can't wait to read how the judges will decide that one; it seem obvious to me though.
